We all know that the brain has two sides, the left and the fight. The right side controls the senses (seeing, hearing, feeling, tasting and smel
36、ling), and is the creative and imaginative side. The left side of the brain controls our logical thinking. It processes the information which comes in, and puts it into order. We call the left side the “educated“ side of the brain and generally, in western societies, people have developed this side
37、of the brain more than the right side.Scientists believe that our brain will work much more efficiently if both the right side and the left side are developed equally.

44、dont know. This means a hostess may not seat a small group until a small table is available, even if a large one is.
